CIFI: Everything about Construction Milestones

Construction Milestones are also unlocked by unlocking Zeus, you gain access to the Space Academy section which honestly deserves to be an entire idle game on its own. Filled with lots of different sub menus to explore and an equally diverse set of bonuses for your progression, you will reach new heights which would have previously seemed impossible to achieve.

One of these sub menus is the Construction Milestones page where you can unlock massive bonuses for almost every aspect of CIFI.

Construction Milestones

You gain blueprints by completing projects in the CIFI Space Academy. These blueprints can then be inserted into various construction milestones, often shortened to CM by the CIFI Community. Here are some key points you should be aware of:

• You only get the bonuses from a construction milestone after you have inserted the required number of blueprints.
• There is no benefit from inserting blueprints into a milestone if you do not have enough blueprints to complete it.
• The number of blueprints required to complete a milestone depends on the milestone itself, the cheapest being 10.
• You get blueprints by completing projects, you complete projects by using materials you earn through running missions, it all comes full circle!

Your First Seven Construction Milestones

Now that we have the basics down, let’s focus on the actual matter at hand – which Construction Milestones should you get first? Ignore the ones we have unlocked in the screenshot!

Here’s what we recommend:

• CM # 2 – Cost 10 – The 10x MP boost should let you grab plenty of extra loop mods in your upcoming MP runs.
• CM # 1 – Cost 10 – Cells and Shards are always nice to have, especially since you’ll be doing a few long runs now Zeus is unlocked. These will also help you unlock MK8 Generators faster along with Zeus.

We’re going to skip #3 right now because the other options are simply too good to ignore.

• CM # 4 – Cost 20 – Auxesia Ranks will help us unlock the 100-Requirement Unlocks and give us a decent boost.
• CM # 6 – Cost 20 – MP is always good, but x15 MP with a nice x4000 Cells boost? Yummy.
• CM # 5 – Cost 20 – These Shards are going to come in handy once you unlock your first Badge, stack them up!

This is where you have some options:

• You can pick up CM #7 for 30 Blueprints and speed up your ZagLag runs thanks to the Koios Ranks. At this point Koios is probably the ship you’re going to be waiting on ranks for before you unlock Zagreus in your MP runs, so this Construction Milestone will definitely help you with your MP runs.
• Alternatively, you can get the cheap #3 in order to unlock #9 and get a decent boost across the board while also unlocking the 40-cost milestones in the process.

All roads lead to Rome anyway, our recommendation would be to think about your MP runs and decide if you have a problem with waiting for Koios.

Completing Construction Milestones Faster

The only thing you need to worry about when aiming to complete Construction Milestones is the rate at which you collect materials from the missions you send your personnel on. Sure, projects do take time to complete, but you’ll find that your material inventory is the ultimate limiting factor.

• Maximize Mission Material Bonuses from all the various sources available to you. Your primary source for this is going to be the Zeus Ship itself.
• There are Ship Unlocks on the Zeus that boost Mission Materials, make sure you have these unlocked and that you are currently doing a long run to get as many Crew Members on the Zeus Ship as possible, to boost up these rewards even further.
